Abstract

1396378 Measuring contamination electrically UNIVERSAL OIL PRODUCTS CO 5 Oct 1972 [6 Oct 1971] 45945/72 Heading G1N The build up of contamination in an environment is determined by allowing the contaminant to form on the surface of a resistance probe 3 and measuring the resultant change in its resistance. The probe is fed with current from a power source 1 and either the voltage drop V across the probe or the current I through it is maintained at a constant value by comparing the voltage V or the voltage drop across a series resistor 33 with a reference voltage 21 in a differential amplifier 11, using the difference to control the power source 1. The surface temperature of the probe 3 is sensed by a thermocouple 29 whose output is compared with a voltage 30 representing the uncontaminated surface temperature of the probe, any difference being amplified at 15 and added to the control for power source 1 to compensate for changes in probe resistance due to changes in probe temperature. It is shown that with a predetermined gain factor for amplifier 15, the change in current I when the voltage V is maintained constant, or the change in V when I is constant, is proportional to the change in resistance of the probe and is an indication of the contamination.
